Once a classroom champion is named, one of three things can happen next:

The classroom champion moves on to compete against other classroom champions in the school contest.

If no other classroom champion is named at that school, then that champion can advance directly to the Junior Online Finals (for champions in grades 6-8) or to the Online Qualfiers (for champions in grades 9-12).

A classroom champion might decide to not compete in the rest of the competition (but then they’d miss the chance to win prizes and who'd want to miss that?).
